Battle of Cambrai (1917)
On the WWI map as “Cambrai”
20 Nov-7 Dec 1917 — 476 tanks attack without preliminary bombardment and gain more in six hours than Third Ypres did in three months; church bells ring in England — early. The counterattack takes most of it back, but the method of 1918 has been demonstrated.
